But the polls dont lie and the statistics from here
[URL="http/www.fishforums.net/content/Tropical...stom-Aquariums/"]http/www.fishforums.net/content/Tropical...stom-Aquariums/[/URL] show that of everyone who has wanted a very large tank less than 10% have actually ever built one, and that over 65% of all that voted would only be willing to spend up to £1000 on setting up a large aquarium in their current financial situation. This forum gives a pretty good cross section of people in the fish keeping hobby covering all ages and types so unless deliberately screwed with the poll should give a fair indication of how rare these tanks are.
So you can't blame people for being skeptical that anyone will actually get around to having these monster sized tanks built, my own monster tank was in the planning stage for over 18 months and originally started out in idea as a 1500g brick built pond with a window, but building cost and design problems meant the project had to be scaled down. Now i'm a 30 year old with a well paid full time job and my own house with the luxurey of a seperate building to keep my fish in, but i wonder just how many people didn't believe that i would get the tank built?
